Interrupted Break

I'm interrupting this blog break to bring you some pictures that rank pretty high on the cuteness factor (at least by this very biased mom).

Open wide - Calvin is a ham on camera and off. He often says, "I'm funny?" or "You're funny." To him, being funny is quite the complement. :) He says it all with a twinkle in his eyes. We feel confident that his sense of humor has been a real asset with his life before our family and with his surgeries.

"Mom, don't take my picture. I don't want a picture." Oh well, I got one anyway and I think it turned out pretty well. He was much too busy to be bothered. He is always figuring out how things work and amazing us with his quick grasp of things - especially technology related. :)

Learning to use a sippy cup. He feels pretty big and important and actually is doing quite well! He is still a poser but only when he wants to be. :) He has just started saying a few things that sound like they might be words - the vote is still out.

Teething Ty - he keeps sucking on his upper lip which is so cute. He has been working on three for a few weeks now and one finally popped through. He doesn't sleep as well when teething, so there have been many nights averaging a bit less sleep. :)

The boys are really trying to work on teamwork which is adorable - it's mostly of their own accord. They decided to water my plants - Patrick watered and Calvin told him which ones to do. :)
